Millie brings fond memories of Mason Field Playground during the fifties. All of the Nolan kids came daily with their upbeat attitudes.spending their days with Fr.Vic and me. Mary and Mildred had saved their allowance one week, bought popsicles for Vic and me and brought them in a cookie tin for a treat for us.This was a family that was so very loving, kind of heart and dear to me. Mrs. Nolan allowed me to take the two oldest, Mary and Mildred to HorseNeck beach one Sunday and it was their very first experience to see and swim in the ocean. I loved this whole family and know that they will always remain a happy and loving memory in my heart. Mildred must be surrounded now by all those who must have greeted her at the Golden Gate with open arms.
